Laura Mercier Eye Color Quad in Tuxedo





















It's been pure torture having this palette for a while now- just waiting for the launch to tell the world about its many wonders.

Well the time is now.

Laura Mercier's Tuxedo quad is basically perfect in every way. I just used it again at a shoot yesterday and just marveled at how rich the colors were, how little you need to use to get the richness, and the longevity.

I used the matte black to trace over liquid liner to achieve a precision line, and the matte white and pearl shades for accents and also to lighten places that were too dark. My true love though, is the black with micro glitter- the glitter isn't bold, it's just a different tone of beautiful rich black for lining and super smokey night eyes.

You will love it, you will use the whole thing, and unfortunately it is limited- so grab one while you still can.

That looks like a gorgeous quad! Have you seen the Chanel Smoky eye quad? Excluding price, how would you compare the two? Which would you pick price being equal? Thanks!

That's the one!

I do like this palette, I liked the grey tones and Chanel has really silky feeling shadows.

I did feel that the LM version was more intense and you can make the same grey shades combining the white and black.

I also felt that the blacks in the LM palette were super rich and dark- which I LOVE and is really hard to find!
